It would be great if specific Lenses could be activated via a URL parameter, e.g. https://kagi.com/search?lens=Academic&q=test
Additionally, https://kagi.com/search?lens=Academic
should take you to a new search page with the Lens already activated.
The first option, with the Lens and the query in the URL, would allow users to configure Lenses as additional custom search engines in their browser.
The second option, with the Lens but not the query provided in the URL, would allow for additional uses cases, such as bookmarking a Lens, or adding it as a Web Panel in Vivaldi browser (this was actually what I was originally trying to do, but the first use case is probably more applicable to more users).
Thanks for considering!
